The easiest and surest way to destroy
Canada thistles is to give an absolute
summer fallow, by which no green thing
is allowed to appear above the surface.
Shallow blowing once in two weeks dur
ing one seasons growth will do this. If
there be rocks, stumps, ETC., all these
places must be hoed thoroughly at each
blowing. If the remaining weak roots
should send up tops the next season, a
thorough cultivation in corn will kill out
those remaining. The prevention of any
green plant from making leaves for one
whole season will totally eradicate it.

Borrowed for the Occasion.

The ST. Paul PoBeer says: A Mime
npolis lady desired to give fashionable
party, bu. her parlors were lacking in
one requisite that was necessary to give
lustre to the occasion, namely the ex-
pensive curtains that go SO far to give a
room an air of elegance and luxury. To
supply the hiatus she procured from a
well known dealer the very article that
she wanted. She took the curtains ''on
approval" and did not pay anything
down. She gave the party, and almost
the most brilliant and successful thing
about it was the handsome drapery of
the windows. The party probably es-
tablished the lady's reputation. When
it was over she took back the hangings,
with the word that ''they didn't suit"
Merchants state that the same sort Of
thing is often attempted with articles of
wearing apparel. And here, too, it is
the women that are the boldest. There
are undoubted instances where jewelry,
laces, and other expensive articles are
returned to the store after having done
duty for single night. This borrowed
splendor, while it is highly unsatisfac-
tory to some, seems to be a sufficient
glory for large number of others for
whom the satisfaction of the present
moment is all sufficient.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
A Point or two of Grating.

An Old CRATER, says in the New York
Tribune: 1t matters little how the graft
is set if only the cut which exposes its
wood and the line between bark and
wood is made smoothly, so that it can at
some point at least come into close con-
tact with the same line or face on the
stock, for this line is the only one on
which new growth is made. The con-
tact must be close and held firmly either
by tie or by the natural pressure of a
cleft stock. The wax used to cover
every part of the wound closely and COM
pletely water tight, must not have any
free fat or oil to soak out and clog the
circulation from cell to cell, and the for
nation of new ones to effect the desired
union. The gratis must be OF sound
wood, fresh and plump. Cherry and
plum (Which must be grated early to
secure success) are usually kept through
the winter in compact moss, roasted saw
dust or mould, to secure them from in
hlry by winter winds and frosts by which
they are liable to suffer.
The stock should be cut back, so that
the gratis may be set either near the col
lar or near main branch. in order to it.
having a sufficiently copious supply OF
sap. The more we cut back the more
young wood we are likely to grow, and
the longer we are likely to wait for fruit
ing. If we set near the extremity of {
healthy branch we see the fruit sooner
but have less of it and smaller specimens
because of the scantier supply of sap 81
far out from the roots. And there is risl
in setting gratis very early on small ex
terror shoots of the graft drying too
much to receive the sap when it arrives
Crafts must be kept entirely dormant un
til set, the buds not startling in tn

Farm and Garden Notes.

Good drainage is essential to a good
garden.
Cauliflower is a delicious vegetable,
not as well known outside our large cities
as it should be.
Horses need extra care aud plenty of
time to eat in when first put to farm
work in the spring.
The thorough use of currycomb and
brush on horses and cows that are she'd
ding their coats will pay.
Plant Lima beans on the poorest soil
you have, supply no manure and stop the
growth of vines at the top of the poles 10y
successive pinchings.
Cows that kick or draw milk from
their udders should be sent to the
butcher Remedies to prevent such vices
are not only useless as permanent cures,
but also troublesome to apply.
When sheep are hurdled on small areas
it should not be overlooked that in
addition to the profit they may give the
animals distribute the manure evenly,
pressing it into the soil with their hoofs,
which is quite an item if the expense of
hauling manure be considered.
Whenever sheep are afflicted with ticks
or other animals with vermin, it indicates
low condition of the system, caused
either by the vermin in the first place, or
by improper feeding. The better the
condition of the animals the less liability
to attack. They will not improve until
relieved, and the longer this be delayed
the more difficult it will become.
The deeper the preparation of the soil
the deeper Will the roots penetrate, thus
advancing closer to moisture, as we'll as
permitting of the growth of a large pro-
portion of those rootlets that collect food.
If the soil be shallow and the subsoil hard
the roots will spread nearer the surface,
thus rendering them not only more liable
to being winter killed, but also to damage
from drought
The supposition that young sows are
better for breeding purposes than those
two or three years old has done much to
impair the vigor of swine. The custom
OF using young sows grew out of the loss
OF young pigs by pressure from the heavy
dams, but large breeding SOW should
not be fat and heavy. A SOW over two
years old will give more milk than a
younger one, and, as rule, she will pro
duce stronger pigs.
The reason poultry killed at home,
though young, is not as tender as that
bought at the market, is that the former
